In an impressive display of vocal talent during the Knockouts round of The Voice Season 27, 21-year-old Texan
Britton Moore showcased his versatility by embracing his country roots. His heartfelt rendition of the Zac
Brown Band’s “Free” earned him the victory, drawing enthusiastic responses from all four coaches on the show.

Vocal Mastery and Coach Affirmations

Known for his pop-oriented style, Moore’s performance marked his first dive into country music on the show.
His ability to control and tone shone brightly, resulting in him securing a Knockout win over fellow teammate
Ari Camille. Initially gaining the attention of all coaches during the Blind Auditions with Coldplay’s “Yellow,”
Moore has continued to impress throughout the competition.

Coach Michael Bublé remarked on Moore’s performance, stating, “There’s this youthful beauty and this clear
gorgeous tone.” Meanwhile, John Legend noted, “It was like pitch-perfect, but also you made some really
great stylistic choices.” Kelsea Ballerini also praised Moore’s precision, joking that his notes were so
perfect it felt as though he was “self-auto-tuned.” Legend humorously chimed in, dubbing him “God-o-tuned.”
Ultimately, Coach Adam Levine commended Moore’s singing prowess with the comment, “You just sing the living
crap out of everything you sing,” before declaring him the winner of that round.

Strategic Steal and Team Dynamics

In an unexpected twist, John Legend utilized his lone steal of the round to keep Ari Camille in the competition,
adding her back to his team for the upcoming Playoffs. This decision highlighted the dynamic interactions
between the coaches and the support they offer their contestants.

Embracing Country Roots

During the performance, Moore channeled the spirit of the Zac Brown Band’s original track, “Free,” released
on their album The Foundation in 2008. His rendition maintained the song’s essence while infusing his unique
vocal quality, characterized by a smooth cadence alongside gentle grit.

Consistency in Performance

This knockout performance further demonstrated Moore’s impressive trajectory on The Voice this season.
His earlier rendition of Radiohead’s “Creep” during the Battles received high praise as Bublé exclaimed,
“You hit that top note!” and Legend commented on his “stunning” vocal power.
